90 Day Fiance Happily Ever After Sneak Peek: Pedro is Pissed to See Chantel

90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? returns on Sunday, and it's anyone's guess whether Chantel and Pedro can make it work . After the way the Pedro betrayed Chantel, she knew that she had to come see him for herself — over his stern objections. In this sneak peek, we see her frosty reception at the airport. Oh dear. … “My parents think that it's a bad idea for me to follow Pedro,” Chantrel candidly informs the camera. She says that The Family Chantel is of this opinion “because Pedro's family is not on good terms with me.” That is a massive understatement. “But,” she notes. “He's mentioned starting a business … divorce.” “Now,” Chantel expresses. “I'm feeling like I really need to go there and find out for myself what's going on.” “I'm here in the airport in Santo Domingo,” Pedro narrates to the camera. He explains that he is “waiting for Chantel because she's coming today.” “I feel so disappointed,” Pedro admits. He feels disrespected “because we talk about this one, and I telling her that I need my own time in the Dominican Republic.” Pedro wanted time “with my friend, with my family..” “And she say, ‘No,'” he observes. “She say only, ‘I gonna come there.'” “I [brought] some flowers and a balloon for her,” Pedro explains to the camera.  He says that he did so “because that's the way I do it every time when Chantel comes to Dominican Republic before.” “In the beginning,” Pedro recalls. “Chantel and me, I say, ‘I have the perfect woman in the world. I feel like heaven.'” “But now it's so different,” he laments. “But, even though I'm disappointed with Chantel, that she coming,” Pedro emphasizes. “I want her to know that I love her anyways.” Pedro is admittedly sending some very contradictory signals when Chantel arrives. His balloons say “Te quiero,” meaning I want you . It's the Spanish-speaking equivalent of I love you (because te amo comes on way too strong). But his intense resting b–chface is, well, frosty to say the least. Chantel is all smiles when she sees her husband, but Pedro is cold and standoffish, turning his head when she tries to kiss him. He barely says anything (on camerra at least) in terms of welcome, saying “hi” and “we can go?” That's … pretty harsh, dude. But even that unfeeling reception was apparently a positive sign in Chantel's book. “You really surprised me by showing up,” Chantel says with a smile. “The fact that Pedro did bring me flowers and a ballon,” she says to the cmaera. “Makes me see a glimmer of hope.” Chantel hopes that “he may want to put forth the same effort that I'm putting forth.” But she makes it clear that making an effort with Pedro does not mean that she's making an effort with his family. “While I'm in the Dominican Republic, I'm not going to stay with Pedro's mom and sister,” Chantel promises. She explains that this is “because I don't trust them with anything. I'm just going to leave it at that.” That's probably a smart decision. That said, given the recent horrific news stories of hotel guests in the DR being assaulted and murdered, maybe The Family Pedro isn't the worst option. Maybe.

So Sad: Miami News Anchor Commits Suicide, Believing He Had Same Dementia As His Mom

Source: Scott Olson / Getty Miami News Anchor Todd Tongen Kills Himself, Believing He Had Dementia A longtime Miami news anchor and reporter Todd Tongen met a tragic end at age 56 when he committed suicide, according to WPLG Local 10 News . According to the outlet where Tongen worked for 30 years, Tongen’s wife was on vacation in Italy with their younger son when she was unable to reach her husband. She asked a friend to check on Tongen and eventually, the police were called. The anchor was found dead in his home on Monday morning. Tongen’s death was a complete shock for many of the people who knew him. His brother, Dr. Scott Tongen, told Local 10 that he had no clue Todd was struggling. “I don’t really think he was thinking about ending his life, as far as I know,” he said, explaining that Todd had upcoming plans for a trip to Canada and Las Vegas. “But there was clearly something that was bothering him.” “He left some garbled messages that we haven’t seen yet, but there was a simple note that said he was lost and to forgive him,” Scott continued.   Scott said he believes his brother suffered from a looming fear of dying from Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), which is a progressive disease that also cost the life of his mother back in August 2017. “I’m convinced that he thought he had it,” Tongen told Local 10, explaining that his brother had been having some balance issues, which their mother also experienced at the start of her disease. “Whether there was conclusive evidence or not, I think he thought he had it, and that may have been enough.”   LBD is the same disease Robin Williams had before he died of suicide in August 2014 at age 63, according to his widow Susan Williams . In response to the tragic news, WPLG President and CEO Bert Medina released a statement to the outlet about Todd and the memories the station would cherish: “We are shocked and saddened by the death of Todd Tongen, but we are choosing to remember how he lived,” Medina said. “Todd was an incredibly talented journalist. He spent 30 years at WPLG telling the stories of the people in our community and giving so much of himself to this community. He was an incredible person. He lit up the room with his warm personality.” He continued: “As hard as it is, our news team is reporting on the circumstance of Todd’s death, we will report on this painful subject of suicide and mental health and perhaps we can help one person out there who is struggling. We miss Todd terribly. Our staff is suffering, but I commend them for how they’ve handled this situation with grace, strength and professionalism.” All condolences to Tongen and his family.

Jenelle Evans Lashes Out: Barbara Evans Is Abusing My Kids!

Another day, another bizarre update in the increasingly sad saga of Jenelle Evans. As you've likely heard by now, Jenelle lost custody of her kids  last month. For most parents, that would be the end of the public spectacle, as they would remove themselves from social media and all other platforms in order to focus on regaining custody and avoid further damage to their reputation. But that's not the case with Jenelle. No, Jenelle is still posting online and engaging in very public altercations with members of her own family. Probably not the smartest behavior for a woman who's trying to prove that she's capable of providing a stable home for her children. But when have we ever known Jenelle to engage in smart behavior? Take a look at her latest outbursts : 1. Jenensley Jenelle posted a photo of herself with daughter Ensley on Instagram today. Obviously, it was a throwback pic, as Jenelle lost custody of the 2-year-old last month. 2. Jenellfie Jenelle also posted this selfie. As many commenters pointed out, she looks pretty happy for someone who just lost custody of her kids. 3. Back On Her BS But it’s the captions to Jenelle’s photos — rather than the photos themselves — that have garnered the most attention from her followers. 4. Keep Telling Yourself That … “It’s the little things in life,” Evans wrote. “With everything that has been going on lately, I’ve come to realize a child’s love for their mother will never fade.” 5. The Delusion Is Strong With This One “No distance, not time, no person can change that special love,” she continued. 6. Did It Burn When You Put It On? From there, Jenelle explained the significance of this piece of jewelry. View Slideshow

Vicki Gunvalson: I Will NEVER Be Demoted to Friend of the Housewives!

Even though Vicki Gunvalson is engaged to Steve Lodge as promised, there are still warning signs that she may have been demoted. Is the OG of the OC now a mere “Friend” of the Housewives? That worry is keeping some fans up at night. But Vicki seemingly insists that it’s not the case. Take a look: As rumors of Vicki’s departure continue to worry fans, some are looking to Vicki herself for reassurance. “Please say you’re full time this season?” begged one fan in an Instagram comment. “So many reports saying you’re a ‘friend of.'” Vicki saw the comment and responded. “Stay tuned,” she urged the follower in her reply. Vicki added a promise: “I’ll never be just a ‘friend.'”

James Kennedy Lures Lala Kent Back Into Friendship, Immediately F–ks It Up!

If you watched the most recent season of Vanderpump Rules , you know that James Kennedy was pretty much left without a friend in the world. Sure, Tom Sandoval and Lisa might occasionally come to his defense, but if forced to choose between James and the rest of the group, they’d turn their backs on White Kanye faster than you can say “it’s not about the pasta.” Of course, it wasn’t always that way. James used to be close with Lala Kent, but that friendship went up in flames largely as a result of her relationship with Randall Emmett. Lala and Randall are engaged these days, and Kent understandably grew tired of her supposed friend relentlessly talking smack about her fiance. So Kent and Kennedy went their separate ways — but remarkably, he was recently able to convince her to give him a second chance. (Okay, it’s more like 475th chance at this point, but who’s counting?) “Friends and cast members alike were surprised and happy to hear that Lala and James patched things up,” an insider tells Hollywood Life. Unfortunately, it seems the reconciliation was ridiculously short-lived: “James invited Lala to work on music with him and she happily obliged, however, she was quickly offended when James took a dig, whether it was in good fun or not, at Randall,” says the source. As you may have heard, Randall was involved in a feud with 50 Cent  back in April. And by “feud” we mean 50 relentlessly roasted Randall on social media, and Randall cowered in fear and literally paid him to stop. Needless to say, it’s probably not Emmett’s favorite topic of conversation these days, and he and Lala were both quite pissed off to find that James had posted a meme referencing the incident. The meme has since been deleted — but it seems the damage was done: “When James and Lala made up, James told everyone it was his doing. Everyone is completely thrown off at how quickly that make-up lasted,” the insider continued. “Lala is likely done forever with their friendship ever again.” One person who’s not surprised that James once again proved himself to be a colossal douche is Katie Maloney: “Katie isn’t surprised whatsoever that it didn’t take James long to burn Lala again,” says the source. “Katie loves Lala but she couldn’t understand why she would try and make amends after everything he’s done to her and the rest of the group.” And it seems Maloney shares many viewers’ opinion that James maintains ties to a group he seems to despise simply because he enjoys the cushy life of a reality star: “Katie truly believes James is just a clout chaser and is doing anything he can to work his way into being friends with anyone just to stay on the show,” the insider adds. “Katie isn’t convinced that James really wants to work at SUR, she thinks he’s doing it to stay in Lisa’s good graces and to keep a storyline going. “She feels bad for Lala that she got hurt again by James and hopes this was the final straw for their friendship.” We hope so too. But considering Vanderpump films during the summer, you can expect him to cling to her coattails for a few more weeks. View Slideshow: Lala Kent: Best Instagram Pics of Vanderpump Rules’ Newest Star

Youtube Vlogger Disappointed Her Daughter Didn’t Have ‘Pretty Eyes,’ Responds To ‘Colorism’ Backlash

Visit link:

Popular Youtube Vlogger Biannca Prince is being dragged for filth after insinuating her baby’s brown eyes aren’t pretty. Moments after giving birth to a healthy baby girl, Biannca Prince looked at her daughter and said, ‘I thought you were going to have pretty eyes.” Her husband quickly retorted, “She does have pretty eyes.” Record scratch. A clip from the video has since made its way around social media, catapulting it into viral status and prompting the couple to respond to all the backlash. Apparently Biannca and her husband Damien can’t believe she is being called out for being a “colorist” and stepped on their digital soap box to explain the “eye” comments.   To bad the explanation is absolutely worse. “When I said I wish she had ‘pretty eyes,’ I didn’t mean she doesn’t have pretty eyes,” she said trying to explain. “When i said pretty eyes, I meant the term “green eyes.” At one point, she asks her husband has anyone ever complimented his brown eyes? To which he responds, “No.” And she says, “exactly.” Then goes into a story about her sisters, with brown eyes, have never been compliments, but strangers always told her mother how beautiful her eyes were.   Seems Biannca clearly missed the point, let’s clarify. This isn’t about preference, Biannca can’t see how she put a higher value on colored eyes for the simple fact that they’re not brown. Because brown eyes aren’t seem as beautiful as blue, hazel, green or even light brown eyes. Colorism has shown us that the lighter your skin or eyes, the closer to White and the better. Period. What say you readers, what’s your reaction to Biannca’s reaction?

Kate Gosselin is Just an "Awful Human," Former Publicist Says

On her new reality show, Kate Plus Date , Kate Gosselin will be looking for a man this fall. According to a former TLC publicist who knows the star well, however, she really should be on the lookout for something else instead: Her humanity. For years and years, of course, Gosselin has been in the lives of television fans and celebrity gossip followers. And, for years and years, she’s been considered one of the more unpopular celebrities on the planet. Gosselin often comes across as loud and self-centered and narcissistic and dense and, at least in the recent eyes of ex-husband Jon, desperate and broke and lonely .  It’s sort of astounding that Kate has now anchored three different reality shows because, when you stop to think about it, one must wonder: Does she have a single actual fan ?  Like… even just one ? While you ponder that question, Joey Skladany is here to emphasize that he certainly is not a supporter of Kate Gosselin. Quite the opposite, in fact. Speaking to Rob Shuter of the Straight Shuter podcast, Skladany explained this week that he formerly worked for TLC and once took on the responsibility of representing Gosselin. “Everyone warned me that she was difficult – and I said, ‘No. I’ll compliment her,’” Skladany said of the reputation Gosselin had earned and how thought he could overcome it. He then shared a brief story that, in his view, summarized why Gosselin really does suck so very much. “At the Today show, I said, ‘Your hair looks gorgeous!’ She wouldn’t even look me in the darn eyes!” Skladany said of how Kate treated him back in the day. The mother of eight evidently left a lasting terrible impression on the TLC publicist. “At the end of the day, I called my boss and said, ‘She’s an awful human.’ They were like, ‘We know. Thank you for the feedback,'” he said on the podcast very simply — and hilariously. Kate and Jon have (unfortunately) both been back in the news of late because they are still fighting over custody of their kids, a decade after getting divorced. For a change, however, Jon is the one coming across as responsible, considering he has taken Collin into his care and is also spending a lot of time these days with daughter Hannah. Back in early December, Kate didn’t even show up at a hearing to determine with whom Collin would live — and insiders have since said she has had no contact at all with this child . Pretty effed up if true, right? Jon and Kate’s sextuplets, meanwhile, just turned 15 years old, an occasion Kate celebrated via a photo of Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel and a caption that read in part: I’m so proud of the positive qualities I’ve seen developing as they edge closer to adulthood. It hasn’t been easy for them, especially over the last year and a half, but they continue to persevere, stay positive and make lemonade out of lemons (to the point where I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to lemons, but what’s a mom to do?) but no matter what, these kids keep on keeping on. Such good, wholesome, loving, insightful, wise humans and I’m just so proud to call them mine! I love you guys to the moon and back a hundred billion times x infinity. Happy 15th birthday!

Kylie Jenner to Fans: None of You Could Handle My Hectic Life!

There’s no denying that Kylie Jenner has a lot on her plate. As the world’s youngest self-made billionaire (For right now, we’ll set the debate over just how “self-made” she really is.), Kylie is so much more than just a Gen-Z social media icon. She’s a mom, a mogul, and a one-woman empire. She’s a reality star, a CEO, and a role model to millions. It’s enough to make you wonder how Kylie could possibly have the time to wear so many hats over the course of a single day. Thankfully, Stormi’s mom is now offering us a look at her daily life with a lengthy video she shot herself: Kylie Jenner: A Day In the Life Ironically, Kylie is so busy she probably wouldn’t have time to watch this entire 20-minute clip. And you might not either, so here are some highlights: Kylie’s day begins at 6 am when she’s awakened by a fussy Stormi. (“Storm’s a-brewin,” we like to imagine Kylie saying as she tosses off 40 bajilion thread count sheets and begins applying the day’s lip liner.) “I said that I was going to start this vlog a lot earlier, but I slept with Stormi last night,” Kylizzle tells the camera. “She woke me up at 6, wouldn’t stop crying — it wasn’t the time to grab my camera and start filming.” After she’s showered up, Kylie rousts her daughter and issues an apology for her appearance. “Hi, Mommy looks crazy right now,” she tells Stormi. At that point, Stormi heads off for a trip to a farm with her cousins. You can practically hear the mom-shamers gearing up and getting ready to bash Kylie for pawning Stormi off on relatives so she can attend to her business ventures. But by early afternoon, mother and daughter are reunited at Kylie’s offices. “It’s hard to manage mom life and work life sometimes,” she tells the camera. “So that’s why I made her a bedroom here so she can be with me and still have fun.” Up at 6, a full day of meetings, and chasing a 1-year-old around all day? Surely, Kylie must be tuckered out and ready for bed immediately after dinner, right? Ha! You don’t get to be a 21-year-old billionaire by logging 8 hours of shut-eye a night. At night, Kylie hits a surprise party for her makeup artist friend Ariel Tejada. Obviously, Jenner enjoys a lot of advantages that most working moms can only dream of, but she still deserves props for cramming such an insane amount of productive activity into a single day. We’d like to say if you do the same, you too can amass a 10-figure net worth. But to be honest, unless you were born rich and famous like Kylie, it’s probably not in the cards for you.
